Abstract: Introduction and Aims: Catheter ablation has been shown to improve left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). Our aim was to assess the impact of AF ablation on the outcome of patients with HF and LV systolic dysfunction. Methods: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of all patients with HF and LVEF
